Because you can enable tablet mode in ParanoidDroid Hybrid ICS ROM for Samsung Galaxy S II. With ParanoidDroid Hybrid ICS ROM, you can enjoy best of both worlds ~ phone and tablet. Hmm… This ROM should be better on Samsung Galaxy Note with bigger and higher resolution screen. Because things are little bit small on Samsung Galaxy S2 screen. But no harm to it out too. And check out AROMA Installer too. You will love it.
